But can you attack their weak spots for MASSIVE DAMAGE?

[joebuck]

Seems to me the problem here is Govt. regulation. If they would just allow unrestricted havesting to satisfy the huge maket demand there would be no problem.

We have no choice but to eat them into extinction!

Tough job, but somebodies gotta do it, so I volunteer.

National Geograhic did this article four years ago, and not so shockingly, most of today's article is a direct ripoff of the one from 4 years ago. Gosh I miss when reporters actually did reporting...

[tarheelswamprat]

Check the date. This story is four years old. Those crabs have probably eaten all those Norwegian fishermen by now and crossed the Atlantic, ready to invade our coastal waters...

We’re gonna need a bigger crab pot...

CRAB...PEOPLE... CRAB...PEOPLE... TASTE LIKE CRAB... TALKS LIKE PEOPLE... CRAB...PEOPLE... CRAB...PEOPLE... Crab people were bannished by mankind to live below the Earth's Crust. This event happened a thousand years ago, during the Kindling Wars. Crab People are too weak and too small to fight man on directly, so instead they seek ways to dominate the world. Numerous times they have created TV shows in order to try to change man's nature. Both "The Jeffersons" and "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" are examples of this. CRAB...PEOPLE... CRAB...PEOPLE... Crab People also caused Hurricane Katrina. Although it was totally their fault, when the blame game started, hardly anyone accused them of doing it. More blame was put on President Bush and global warming than on the Crab People. CRAB...PEOPLE... CRAB...PEOPLE... Although, global warming is the fault of the Crab People. CRAB...PEOPLE... CRAB...PEOPLE... Also, it has been said that when someone makes a ridiculous claim, or says a stupid idea, it is time to sing the Crab People theme song. CRAB...PEOPLE... CRAB...PEOPLE... TASTE LIKE CRAB... TALKS LIKE PEOPLE... CRAB...PEOPLE... CRAB...PEOPLE... http://www.editthis.info/superdickery/Crab_People

Craaaaaaab peo-ple.

[kidd]

Lets see:

1. Biologists don’t want theses crabs in Atlantic water
2. There is a highly profitable market for them
3. If they were hunted to extinction from the Atlantic, it would be a good thing

What’s the problem? Oh here it is:

“At present, some Norwegian fishermen have been granted seasonal licences to catch the Kamchatka crab but stiff regulations on the size of the boat used and other criteria mean they are few in number.”

So the Norwegian government can simply say: catch all you want. No license required.

So why doesn’t it?

[VeniVidiVici]

In the 1990s, for reasons nobody quite understands, the population exploded

The Soviet Union disappeared thereby greatly reducing the amount of pollution being discharged into the Baltic.

Just a guess.

The article says it has no natural enemies, but then says, "The animal's legs are considered a delicacy and fetch top dollar in Japan and America. Served with bread, butter, lemon and mayonnaise, the taste and texture of the crab meat is comparable with that of the finest lobster."

Sounds like we humans are the natural enemy. Yummmmm!!! What's for dinner?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Wear Them?

[PeteB570]

Should send the Northwestern up there.

Them boys know how to deal with craps.
